Learn how to simplify division of a rational expression by factoring

The video tutorial explains how to simplify a rational expression by dividing. It begins with an introduction to rational expressions and a review of multiplying and dividing fractions, emphasizing the use of reciprocals. The tutorial then demonstrates the process of simplifying a complex rational expression by rewriting it, changing division to multiplication, and factoring trinomials. The final steps involve canceling out terms to arrive at the simplified expression. The video concludes with a summary of the process and the final simplified expression.
